Dear Friend,

My name is Donald Elgie
and, I think you may want to call me after reading this
letter. If so, my number is 000-000-0000. And if you'd
like to visit me, my office is located at 123 Elm Street
in Massillon, Ohio. That's right across the street from
the Public Library and two blocks south of the Massillon
Police Station.

You see, if you feel tired
more often than you'd like and... you want more energy all
throughout the day... this may be the most important letter
you will ever read.

Here is why:

There is an unusual man
who lived in the 17th century named Athanasius Kircher.
He was born in 1601 and died in 1680. He was an Archeologist,
Mathematician, Biologist, Physicist, Vulcanologist, and
Egyptologist. And many people consider him...

The Last Person Alive To Know Everything

There Is To Know In The World!

Listen: If you walked into
Harvard's library in 1638, you could have read every book
they had. There were only 400 of them. At a pace of one
book a week, you would have read 50 books a year and,
finished all 400 books in eight years. Today, there are
15 million books in that library.

The world is very different
now. Some experts estimate the world's knowledge now doubles
every 2 to 3 years. We live in a society where the daily
newspaper can be so big we cannot read it all before the
next day's issue comes out. When we turn on the TV, we
have hundreds of cable and satellite channels to choose
from. And every time we blink we get a new email!

Life can be rather overwhelming.
We have more things to do than we can handle. We have
more choices to make than we have time to think. And while
we try to juggle work, health and our relationships, we
are constantly interrupted by hundreds of other things
life throws in our way.
